Old-School Eats

Now I know why so many people talk about the charming atmosphere at El Chorro. It's not a foodie destination, but it's beloved nonetheless. A little overrated? Maybe, but there really are some delicious things on the menu. It's a place people visit for a piece of history, to scope out the scene, to order old-fashioned entrees like chicken livers or roast duckling with orange sauce. To the older generation, saltines and a relish tray never went out of style. To younger folks, they're refreshingly retro-chic. El Chorro's enduring popularity can be chalked up to a little bit of both.
